AIR CARRIER CONSULTATION MEETING PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE APPICATION COLUMBIA REGIONAL AIRPORT March 4, 2016 10 a.m. CST 1. This air carrier consultation meeting will cover two passenger facility charge (PFC) applications:  A PFC application amendment to decrease the PFC approved amount for one project in PFC application number 12‐03‐C‐00‐COU.  A new PFC application to obtain approval to impose and use PFCs for projects that have been deleted from PFC application number 12‐03‐C‐00‐COU via an administrative amendment (Attachment A), as well as several new projects. The administrative amendment was needed because the City did not submit an application to obtain PFC use approval for the projects that were contained in this application as “impose only. In addition, there are several new projects for which PFC approval has never been obtained that will also be included in this application. 2. A list of projects being considered for funding by PFC’s is provided in Attachment B. Attachment B also includes a brief project description and funding plan for each of the projects proposed in this PFC application. 3. The approved PFC collected at COU is currently $4.50 per enplaned passenger. Consistent with the revised financial plan, City seeks to impose and use PFCs as follows:  PFC Level: The rate of PFC charge is unchanged from the four dollars and fifty cents ($4.50) charge on passengers enplaned at the airport.  Proposed Charge Effective Date: The current estimated charge expiration date for approved PFC projects (including project deletions), in the amount of $1.5 million, is March 1, 2016. The effective date for this PFC application is currently estimated to be August 1, 2016, which is the earliest time frame for which PFC approval can be obtained.  Estimated Charge Expiration Date: March 1, 2020 (or until PFC revenue equals the allowable costs of the approved projects, as permitted by regulation). An estimate of future PFC collections by year is presented in Attachment C. 4. Class(es) of Carriers Excluded ‐ not required to Collect the PFC: The City plans to request the exclusion of PFC collection from Air Taxi/Commercial Operators (ATCO) filing FAA Form 1800‐31. Based on the latest data available, the known carriers in this class consist of the following airlines:  Aero Jet Services  Air Exec, In.  Arkansas Children’s Hospital  Flexjet Llc  Ultimate Jet Charters LLC  Charter Air Transport, Inc. These operators constituted less than 1% of the enplaned passengers at COU during calendar year (CY) 2014, with 232 enplaned passengers. Further, imposition of PFC collection responsibilities upon this category of air carrier would pose an undue hardship by creating additional PFC revenues not commensurate with the associate administrative burden. 1 Attachment A FAA PFC Administrative Amendment A‐1 A‐2 Attachment B Project Information Application Type

Description
This project consists of the reconstruction of Taxiway A south of Taxiway A‐5 and the partial reconstruction of the taxiway connectors adjacent to the reconstructed Taxiway A as the Taxiway A Reconstruction
pavement is in ‘poor’ condition.
This project will provide for replacement of the airport perimeter fencing with new wildlife deterrent fencing to address hazards identified in the Wildlife Management Assessment of Hazards study.
Wildlife Deterrent Fence
This project consists of reimbursement for acquisition of land. The planned extension of Runway 20 will require the relocation of Route H and Rangeline Road. This extension and road relocations will require land acquisition.
Airport Land Acquisition
This project consists of the reconstruction of the entire asphalt runway and taxiway system associated with Runway Rehabilitate Runway 13/31 & Taxiway B 13/31 as the pavement is in ‘poor’ condition.
This project consists of repositioning Runway 13/31 and Taxiway B to correct deficiencies in line‐of‐sight requirements between the intersection runways and extending the crosswind runway to a minimum length of 5,000’ to allow uninterrupted airline service during the rehabilitation of Extend Runway 13/31 & Taxiway B
Runway 2/20.
This project consists of realigning Route H and Rangeline Road to accommodate the planned extension of Runway 20.
